Alan Smith – photographer, filmmaker and writer

If pushed, I would call myself a documentary photographer but it’s difficult to categorise my image making. I shoot a lot of wildlife but also take photos of landscapes, cityscapes, people … (in fact, anything that’s in front of my camera).

Having spent 25 years working around the world as a professional filmmaker in news and current affairs, I now film for causes that interest me.

I also write a bit – anything from scripts for the films I shoot to blogs and magazine articles.
